Yeah I had a look at that clover program and the google play store description was just atrocious, rating wasn't that great either. It is rooted but since it's a chinese tablet it doesn't get the same developer attention as samsungs et al. e: I am running the latest available ROM though.. I think the hardware is just a bit underpowered to drive a 2048x1536 LCD. ee; is there a thread for posting random scribblings? reni89 fucked around with this message at 22:22 on May 14, 2013 |

Anyone have much experience with the 13HD? Frenden has boxed it back up in favour of the cheaper Yiynova 19" cintiq alternative. Not sure what to think right now really. There'll be bit of time before they come back in stock in England anyway.

http://tech.woot.com/offers/wacom-bamboo-capture-pen-touch-tablet Just saw this pop up on woot if anyone was looking for an inexpensive starter tablet. $50 with a 1 yr wacom warranty. I'm not sure how much I trust Wacom refurbs (no experience with them) but it seems like a good deal.

Just picked up a tablet to start doodling (Monoprice 10x6.25). I tried to use photoshop and illustrator to just draw some basic line art, but there was a considerable lag between the cursor/pen and what was drawn. I'm trying to figure out if it's the tablet, my hardware, or the software I'm trying to use that's causing the lag. Also, any recommendations for edit: After messing with it a bit more, it's probably my slow-rear end laptop. Trying to draw with my mouse has the same lag.

Disabling the tablet stuff didn't seem to make much of a difference. The lag isn't terrible, but it's noticeable. Is a 1:1 ratio of pen stroke to what appears on the screen possible? I have zero familiarity with tablets/digital art, so I may just be setting my expectations too high. Anyway, thanks for the advice. I'm putting together a considerably more powerful desktop build, so maybe I'll get better results then.

Photoshop is really resource-hungry, so I'm not surprised you're getting lag on a laptop.

Mentioned this in the 3d thread but didn't get much of a response: I am interested in the best slate/tablet or highend laptop for sculpting zbrush on the go and am struggling with the issue of portability vs. power. Wanted to know who here sculpts and/or paints on a mobile computer and what do they recommend? Are PC slates good enough to use zbrush / photoshop without too much lag at medium to high resolution? The samsung slates seem really nice but I am very tempted to just go ahead and get nice Asus highend laptop with a monoprice tablet vs. the samsung. Alternatively, maybe get the laptop for 3d and find a decent android tablet for life drawing stuff etc. What do you guys think? Is the wacom digitizer really THAT important anymore?

^^ I'm using the Microsoft Surface Pro to do my work on. Just painted the illustration below using Photoshop with a canvas size of 3500px @ 300dpi. When the Surface was released it lacked WinTab support, but that's no longer an issue. Wacom updated the drivers and it's essentially a mobile solution to the Cintiq. One thing it lacks is the pen tilt support that something like an intuos4 and above would have. I personally never utilized that feature, so I can't comment how much of a loss that is.

My husband had a galaxy note for work and it was useless for even doing tiny doodles on until he rooted it. Also, check out the ipad 4. It looks like it's about $100 more, but procreate and adobe ideas are great to work with, imo. You might also be better at internet shopping than I am and be able to find it cheaper. I didn't know anything about the surface pro when I bought my ipad so didn't have any clue why the newest ipad was cheaper than the previous model was. Edit: If you get an ipad, don't waste your money on the artrage app. I love artrage for pc, but the app kind of sucks, no matter how proud they are of it. It's also the only drawing app I've had that lags. Edit 2: Looks like they are planning on coming out with a surface pro 2, so maybe the surface pro 1 will drop in price soon. Just a fyi thing, since the article popped up when I went to search prices on the surface pro. Amazon's price on them is higher than they originally were.

I've been looking to get a drawing tablet where I can see what I'm doing for a while, however I'm still not sure what to go with - the Cintiq 13HD or a Surface Pro or something else entirely. Portability is not completely essential for me, but it sure would be a very good bonus. Looking to use it mostly with Photoshop and Zbrush. 900 euros would be a fairly big investment for me so I don't want to end up immediately regretting my purchase. Could someone that owns any of these things list out some pros and cons? What about durability?

Could someone that owns any of these things list out some pros and cons? What about durability? For durability, I would go with a cintiq. I had the little Yiynova tablet, which wasn't too bad, but the port for the usb cable broke (which may have been my fault since it slipped of the chair and hit the floor when I was setting it up) and I have a bad habit of forgetting that I have pens and pencils in my lap and standing up, which send them crashing to the ground. Yiynova pens are no longer usable when that happens which means I have to spend another 50 bucks to buy a replacement. Or maybe the way yiynova deals with pressure is as lovely as I thought it was before I thought about the fact that I dropped the pens. The intuos pens are doing just fine though. Also, as far as the Yiynova 10inch goes, it's easel is loving useless. Especially since the tension in their stylus, before being dropped repeatedly, wouldn't pick up any pressure unless you pushed a bit with the pen. I even had it set at 0. So it really did make my hand cramp. If you try drawing on it not on your lap, it will slide. And there are no mounting holes on the back to hang it on an arm. I haven't tried the surface pro, but can't exactly see where I'm drawing on the ipad with the pogo connect stylus. And the other two pressure sensitive styli have those little clear plastic things on the nibs. Then again, this is a post by a non-professional artist, so some of the people who get paid might have better insight. And this is beautiful

If you want to draw on stuff like the iPad, I'd recommend the Jot. Never used it, but I think it's the only pen with a fine point, or at least the closest you'll get on those sort of devices. Plus 2048 levels of sensitivity.

Hope one of you Cintiq users can help me out here - my 13HD arrived today but the screen isn't what I expected. It looks like there's a cheap screen protector or something on it - it's got heaps of these tiny purple dots that shift around as you move, like a monitor before you take of the screen protector film (incidentally the tablet did not come with a screen protector). Is this normal?

I didn't know anything about the surface pro when I bought my ipad so didn't have any clue why the newest ipad was cheaper than the previous model was. Well I ended up picking this up (it was $100 because the SD Card slot is broken). So far it's ok, it's not a terrible little tablet. I haven't rooted it but it seems fine for doodling. But that's really all I think i'll be using it for. Where drawing on my wife's iPad with a capacitive stylus felt like drawing with a sausage, drawing with the Note stylus feels a bit like drawing with a toothpick. The stylus is really light, and due to it's short length requires a different hold than my intuous or a regular pencil. The actual line quality is pretty good (i'm using sketchbook pro android) and the pressure sensitivity is actually really good but the screen is pretty low resolution (1280 x 720) and so even though you can set up large canvases it's a bit like drawing through a tiny window. So we'll see, it was super cheap and makes it easy to doodles and thumbs in boring meetings, but I think that's about as far as it's capable of going.

Ok guys, wrong thread probably but who knows. I really like the Surface Pro over the Wacom 13. Yeah you get the tactile buttons with the Wacom, but you're completely untethered with the Surface, and there is software that overlay 'keys' on the screen so you can do ctrl+click and that sort of thing. Surface has some sort of "palm-sensing" technology which may interfere with button overlays on the screen while you're using the stylus though. Anyways, reading this thread got me looking at the Galaxy Note 10.1. Is there a drawing app for Android that is The Best? I'd like support for layers, as well as shapes like lines and circles, and the ability to stretch, skew, and distort layers like in Photoshop. Googling just brings up a bunch of "OUR APP IS GREAT! FAKE CRAYON EFFECT!" when I really just want a bare-bones photoshop clone. EDIT: I think I just want a Surface Pro with CS6 installed. MS is selling the Surface Pro (NOT RT) for $399 at a developer conference right now. Futureshop.ca is selling them for $999. Come onnnnnn price cut. bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Jun 4, 2013 |

It's from non glare coating. It's basically how it works, diffracts light, makes it less shiny but you get speckles. E: just bought a surface pro $750aud. Not looking forward to Bing etc.
